I jsut wasted a few minutes on the website of these clowns, something like 99%.org. It's pictures of people and their tales of woe, mostly involving crummy jobs and high student loans. Apparently society owes good jobs to all these folks with Masters of Fine Arts without regard to their contribution to society.

MFA and a crummy job? Maybe you should've thought of that before $80K in debt. Word is, they're coming to my area too. Great. Tie up the traffic for the working stiffs. Should be a great way to get sympathy for unemployed white college kids.

I did not understand why, if these protestors in Madison are serious and competent, they did not take the opportunity to raise a huge stink last Saturday, when millions and millions of people were watching an event on the UW Madison campus.

I guess it's the part about serious and competent that undermines my argument.

He says he and others who are participating in the Occupy Wall Street events will be distributing the famous foam cheesehead hats and other Wisconsin "gear" to tie together the ongoing movement in Wisconsin and Occupy Wall Street.

Don't worry yr little head about it, Nachoitos--get back to work helping out the Romney-tard campaign and...zionist capitalism. That is, until/unless the real Rev happens and yr tossed out of a highrise. Fly, swine

did you know Trotsky himself opposed Zionism, while hardly an anti-semite? (ie, he was ofjewish-russian heritage--yet also claimed he did not know a word of hebrew) No, you didn't know that Nachito , since you don't know fuck about politics. Now,spout more inane gibberish to remind us of what hayseeds really are about.

They did an "Occupy 'Burque" thing last weekend. I saw a flier for it posted in the ladies loo at UNM last week and an impassioned letter to the editor of the university newspaper about the event yesterday.

Yes, it seems that students able to attend University are not privileged, they are oppressed.

I had no idea.

I don't know why Democrat politicians or liberals are giving this whine-fest the time of day. The message isn't *liberal*. It's some mash up of anarchist/communist/anti-consumerist garbage, far as I can tell. Darn those horrible businesses that make stuff that I have to have! Darn them for making me have to have it and then making me pay for it!

The letter to the editor was a good one... lots of big words. It included the horror that students had to chose between paying rent and eating... no, not between rent and food... had to chose between paying rent and eating *healthy* food!

These protests have no where to go. Tea Partiers spent one golden hour with their Congresspeople and let them have it. Congresspeople have something to lose if people turn on them.Will these protests have any leverage over Congress, Corporations? Hard to see it.
